GLOBAL CONTEXT

Old socialsystem

Critical point

A complex process ofredifining the profound

structure or the socialsystem

New social

system

All the Artifacts generated by our

civilization needs, when combined

with the Natural ones (in which they are

situated and/or with which theyinteract for their normal operation)

generate an entirely new System, of adifferent type and quality.

Natural and Artificial systems arenow intermingled, interacting, inter-related and interdependent, thus

permanently defining and influencing

each other, giving rise to an entirely

new and qualitatively differentdynamics.

This novel symbiosis and its dynamics

are only partly controllable or

predictable, and in order to be

understood (even if only partially) they

have to be examined using an

interdisciplinary approach, a re-

evaluation of the classical sciences, afundamental change in the points ofviews and techniques used to study,model and predict such complexsystems.

Complexity is not a methodology or a set of tools (although it doesprovide both). It certenly is not a management fad. The Science ofComplexity provide a conceptual framework, a way of thinking, a wayof seeing the World

Evolution of knowledge and application

of its destructive power;

without ethics and morality centered onpreserving life, the human race will self -destroy.

BRINGING TOGETHER DIFFERENT GENERATION

at the University level, the program promotes student research activity gearedtowards themes offering high-level scientific activity carried out within theframework of projects in particular, MA and PhD (CCS is acting as an interface

between faculties, educational institutions and private companies to harness the

creative potential of the young generation; - aims to increase scientific values in

academic partnership; - stimulate and help an ease technological transfer to the

productive sector).

Research on syncronisation of chaotic oscilators

at the upper secondary level, the program seeks to give priority to identifying andmotivating youth with opening up to a scientific and technical careers, theformation of the main skills and habits necessary to conduct/participate to/

activities in the framework of a team; (the results of the activities carried out

under programs customized in every high school and personalized by

professional psychological structure of teachers, will gradually set up a database

containing the successful experiences and good practices);


7/35


at the level of secondary schools and youth science clubs program supports activitiesas edutainment programs (like Science Fun, Hands on Science, expeditions toareas of ecological interest, geophysical, socio-cultural, technical courses in

museums and Sciences); educational act intentions is to motivate the learning in

general, raising children and parents awareness toward the training for self-

assessment skills, personal development, management of the initiative for a

future career in consonance with the changes in the society.
